The ESGCT Spring school will take place in Athens, Greece organised in collaboration with the Hellenic Society of Gene Therapy and Regenerative Medicine.
The new dates for the postponed Spring School are 17 - 19 March 2021. In collaboration with the Hellenic Society of Gene Therapy and Regenerative Medicine The ESGCT Spring School is a 3-day meeting of presentations and workshops focused on academic students as the primary attendees. Students will have free registration to the meeting that includes all meals, and will only have to pay for their travel and accommodation but this year we will not accept returning students to give everyone a chance to join. We invite leading experts in the field of gene and cell therapy to share their knowledge and give participating students the opportunity to spend time with them during the social events.
The spring school programme will remain as close to the intended 2020 programme as possible depending on speaker availability have a look at the programme we had planned for 2020.
